This is, of course, something that a fixed layout format such as PDF can't do, precisely because it does hold the layout sacrosanct, as you put it. That's its strength, but it does make it problematical to use with displays that aren't large enough to accommodate it.  |
tagged PDF's can reflow with the right software and even keep the images in reasonable places most of the time. However, no dedicated eBook reader supports tagged file reflow but supposedly Sony will have it soon. (although without the image reflow possibly)
